We all just got a lessonFrom those folks who make the game workHave a couple meetingsThen announce you have a framework

They launch a little vesselThen step back as it goes driftingLeaving it to someone elseTo do the heavy lifting

Start a new bureaucracyAnd pass a few more lawsTotally ignoring bothThe problem and the cause

The government’s enormousAnd its growth just can’t be slowedAny one that’s tried toHas been told to hit the road

So if our sober senate’s unprepared to set the toneI’d like to entertain you with a framework of my own

My plan should get attention for its excellence and rarenessSeeing as it’s based almost entirely on fairnessBy reading daily papers you should know it’s not surprisingThat just outside the capital, all real estate is risingIt’s only in the beltway loop that unemployment’s rareAnd any good Progressive must agree that’s less than fair

Because there’s so much wealth embedded in the institutionI say our central government could use redistributionMy plan is very simple and in it’s essence statesThat cabinet departments should be shipped out to the states

All those hefty sal’ries can be moved to your communityDenying the nefarious one target opportunity

Then everyone in Michigan would sure be sitting prettyIf we moved Transportation out there to the Motor City

Commerce to Chicago and Defense should move to TexasSo everyone in Dallas could afford a second Lexus.

It’s not exaggeration and it isn’t any jokeIt’s just the only way to fix a government that’s brokeIt may seem kind of crazy but this is how I figger’The one thing that it’s good at…is making itself bigger
